17632979081763. very good. British Music composer and patron of the arts; who later as a political writer rigorously defended the liberties of the American Colonies in contrast to his close friend Earl of Suffolk. His brother-in-law introduced him to Johann Christian Bach and Carl Friedrich Abel and he was subsequently very involved in their careers. From 1791-1795 he became a patron of Franz Joseph Haydn and is often acknowledged as having contributed greatly to the composers success. In the political arena Abingdon was an outspoken critic of Lord North and his Administration yet denounced the French Revolution as "A threat to World Peace"; and argued that the abolition of the Slave Trade was the result of a "New Philosophy" inspired by the new French Republic. Toward the end of his life he became entangled with severe financial problems and subsequently died in poverty at age 59.
